This song is a middle of the night sadness song....

Elusive sunshine in my eyes today
A cold remembrance of another day
When we were young, we played

We built this fortress that was millions strong
But many thousands never made it home
To the land, they saved

Chorus:
Hotel soldiers would you run away
Or blindly walk into your shallow grave
In hopes that someday you'll find flowers in your gun
Hotel Soldiers, on the run

I built this hole in hopes my life it would save
But looking upward it reminds me of the grave
Where I will find, my last breath

A cavern dark that's made for lonely souls
We sit in silence as the missiles told
Us to go home, alone

Repeat chorus

Would you walk away
Or blindly run into your shallow grave
In hopes that someday you'll find flowers in your gun
Hotel Soldiers, on the run
Hotel Soldiers, on the run
